Thanks for the reply Mark!

I usually do all my convex from narrow angle first, then to wide, then down and strop.

I have a gut that the in between angles are more or less guesses, know what I mean, as you can’t take them to bur.

I’m imagining that by burring very lightly each step say from 17 through 20, the biggest factor would be the height of the edge .. I’m guessing it would be lower, but by how big of a factor?

And, would it make for a stronger rounder shouldered blade, but duller.

Perhaps Leo or Clay or anyone has tried this and has thoughts.
